I've been training here for the last 2 years after trying several "bigger" fitness centres. I chose Rady because of how clean it is and the great variety of equipment, especially now that much of the equipment has been replaced and updated.
The trainers and staff are always friendly and helpful. I generally train on my own however I recently signed up for a bootcamp course that has benefited my fitness goals.
Community centered with so many kids programs, the pool, adult programs and family events... it really is a great place to develop a fitness habit!

I could not ask for a better fitness facility in the three plus years that I've been a member of Rady. The gym is modern, always clean and well-maintained. The pool and track is the reason I signed up but their staff as well as the organization's consistence in striving for excellence is why I continue to stick around. Thank you so much for being a part of my health journey.

Terrible service. The security is too uptight for next to no reason. I'm Aboriginal and when I walked in their everybody looked at me like I committed a crime. They do have false advertising online as well and they are scam artists if you ask me.

All the staff here are very kind and helpful, it doesn't feel like it's run like a business as much as an effort to add value to the community. The gym Also has basically any facilities you could want.

Excellent place for swimming lessons. Kind and knowledgeable staff/instructors. Changerooms are carpeted, clean, and offer free lockers and amenities like hand hair driers, private change stalls, and private showers if desired.

I like the vast array of equipment in the gym. Love the new look of the pool and the comeraderie from the lifeguards and the friendly greeting at the door, the sports desk and the team of fitness instructers upstairs.

Love it! The staff are very nice and helpful. Everything is so clean and organized. Can't believe it's over 20 years old as they keep renovating and equipment up to date. It supports and represents the community accurately as it is very diverse and rich in culture. Prefer it over City of Winnipeg facilities.

It s clean and bright with lots of windows. The classes are led by really good instructors. The equipment is always upgraded. The pool is beautiful. There is also a vibrant sense of community. And diversity. People gather for coffee or lunch, kids walk by with their parents or from the school, posters everywhere letting us know about the many offerings in the building for music and celebration. It s a healthy place. I am very glad to be a part of it and would recommend it to everyone.

Been a member here for years - and yes the facilities are great, but with one exception.

I can't speak for the ladies facilities, but the mens steam room is absolutely disgusting.

Yes, the steam room gets cleaned daily by the full time cleaning staff, but only in the most cursory of ways. Years of neglect and poor upkeep has left the steam room covered in mould and slime. Most days the smell of mould hangs in the air.

Honestly, if any city inspectors are reading this, the facilities should be closed. If places like Thermea (about ten trillion times cleaner) get closed by the city for elevated levels of bacteria, its beyond me why this is let to occur here.

Seriously Rady, get your act together. An actual cleaning involves lots of ELBOW GREASE and disinfectants, not just spraying down the benches with a hose and running a squeegee over the glass.

Fun fact: I know several members who refuse to shower or use the steam here just because they are so gross and scuzzy. I used to think they were Grade-A germophoebes, but as the cleanliness in the locker facilities has steadily declined below any possible threshold of acceptance, I've come to see their point of view.

Maybe they can offer membership discounts if you opt out of the shower/steam facilities? I will ask at the Sports Desk !

Great place for fitness and wellbeing. very nice atmosphere and never too busy which is really nice. I rarely have to wait for a machine. The lap pool is very great. There is also saunas in the change rooms.

It is a friendly, clean and cheerful place ! Like many others, my wife and I enjoy swimming in the clean and sparkling pool and attend exercise classes. The Rady JCC is very well-equipped and with helpful staff. The adjacent parking lot is an added bonus.

Walked in there made me feel like a criminal, security gave me and my friend a dirty look just because I brought my native friend with me to a Jewish community center, refused to send me my free 7 day pass, tell me I'm lying about something they openly advertise and it was a general feeling of snobbiness, when I called back to inquire about this they refused to help me and then I told my mom and she called to find out who the staff were and refused to tell my mom who I spoke too this place is run by vultures they tried to charge me 20 dollars for a single day, total scam artists

A membership at the RadyJCC feels like a membership at a high-end fitness club without the high-end price. I rarely have to wait for a machine and the variety of classes offered is incredible. The change room facilities are always so clean More

The weights/machines are all in good working condition and are well maintained. The times posted for the weight room aren't true, you will be kicked out 15-25 minutes before. It should be clearly posted or said upon arrival. When cancelling my membership one staff member gave me a hard time, he was rude and made assumptions without confirming my renewal date (which is past the year mark).

I decided to try the 1 week pass as I've never been to the Rady, it's a very nice facility. But never in my life have I been treated worse by a staff member at any other gym. I was about to start working out on the decline bench and the juiced up trainer told me he was going to use it. It caught me completely off guard so I obliged. Ridiculous! He didn't even use it and it ruined my workout and first time experience. I would never recommend anybody to this gym, there's better ones in the city anyways.

I love going to the Rady JCC Fitness Centre. The staff are always friendly and always speak to guests, the facility itself is fabulous. It's clean, bright and the equipment is the most up-to-date. Trainer Kevin Roy is fabulous. He pushes me but knows the limitations and works around them. If you're looking for some personal training, call Kevin. Love the saltwater pool and steam room too. The Rady is well worth the money and certainly worth joining.

Great place to check out the newest fitness fashion. Not the best place for strength training-

update- new strength training equipment is said to be on the way for 2018, i'm looking forward to seeing what's in store.
